Oh No, Next Up - a CX Rig

Inspired my MJs riding his CX bike on French, I found myself in a bidding war on Ebay for a beaten Raleigh Pro CX Bike. Its all carbon, very blue, full of ports for internal routings of cables.



To use up my spare parts collection, I am starting with a single speed setup to re-use my awesome TRP Hylex brakes.

I ended up ordering an eccentric BB, spacers, in addition to some tubeless WTB Cross Boss tires, I am plotting to go tubeless on my old DT Swiss wheels.

Already plotting for really wide handlebars, and I will need to re-route lots of hosing and bleed brakes.

IF I really like it, maybe I move all the FM166 parts over to make a real CX rig for next fall...
